📣 SESSION ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

You don't want to miss our Strategic Assertion & Influence session with Lisa Dicker, Triad Group Senior Consultant, at the WISE/R Symposium July 18 on the eve of All Star Weekend!

What you'll learn:

✅ To be effective in negotiations, we must understand what we want to assert and who we are seeking to influence.

✅ While our interests may not shift, our framing and delivery needs to be targeted to the audience we are seeking to persuade and the level of commitment we need from them.

✅ Negotiating with our external partners, clients, subordinates, peers, and supervisors may each require different approaches to be effective and achieve the results we want.

✅ This session introduces and practices strategies for effective assertion and influence in negotiations through interest identification, persuasive framing, creating solid commitments.
